Osterhouse Sounds Pattern Strings

Pattern Strings presents a distinctive way to handle ostinatos. It offers a set of tempo - synced rhythmic fragments. These 19 rhythms are recorded on violin, viola, cello, and bass at two dynamic layers with 4 round robins. The intuitive drag - and - drop interface lets you arrange rhythms into natural - flowing sequences. You can easily move rhythms to pattern strips or change their order. With Legato on, new notes sync with held ones, enabling you to create convincing lines as shown in demos. The Automatic Bow Direction feature plays downbow samples on downbeats and upbow samples on upbeats for a natural rhythm flow. The Tempo Sync switch allows you to adjust sample playback speed, useful when working at different tempos. All instrument combinations are rendered, both single and with stereo doubling, which saves memory and CPU. The Dynamic Loading system in the interface only loads what you need. You can beef up an instrument's sound by enabling Doubling without increasing voice count or memory. Save different variations into Custom Keyswitches instead of opening multiple instances. Click 'Map' and then a colored key at the keyboard bottom to recall patterns. Use the Random Button to generate rhythm sequences and discover something useful.

Using Pattern Strings is easy. First, start by arranging rhythms using the drag - and - drop feature. You can move rhythms to the pattern strips or change their order just by dragging them around. When you want a smooth connection between notes, turn on the Legato feature. Remember, the Automatic Bow Direction adds a natural feel to your music, so keep it on for a more realistic sound. To adjust the speed of the samples, use the Tempo Sync switch according to your working tempo. If you're worried about memory and CPU usage, the pre - rendered instrument combinations and the Dynamic Loading system will help. You can also enhance an instrument's sound by enabling Doubling. When you have different pattern variations for a track, save them to Custom Keyswitches. Just click 'Map' and then a colored key at the bottom of the keyboard. And don't forget to try the Random Button to come up with new rhythm sequences. There aren't many special maintenance requirements. Just make sure your system meets the basic requirements to ensure smooth operation.
